[ale] Autofs mounting issue...

[Raj Wurttemberg]

Still working on this... Getting a different error now.

auto.master  line
/-         /etc/auto.direct    --ghost

auto.direct line:
/usr/sap/trans        10.1.1.100:/trans_prod/SID

Error:  failed to create mount directory /usr/sap/trans

No access denied or anything.  The directory /usr/sap already exists (fstab
nfs mount).

Thanks,
/Raj
